World War Two
Published 2 Oct 2021The fighting for Stalingrad continues, but the Soviets forces are split and the Volga is on fire. In the Caucasus, the Axis forces for the most part are being held in check — at one point a single Soviet battalion holds off an entire Army Corps — but they’re being pushed back on the Kokoda Trail in the South Seas.

World War Two
3 days ago (edited)
Indy mentions the Axis war on shipping, which for the first time is failing to sink more tonnage of Allied ships than they produced. This means they are now losing this war, as unless the trend is negative then the Allies will eventually have a larger shipping fleet than the Germans will be able to sink. This is victory in no small part thanks to the US entry into the war, increasing the total number of ships needed to be sunk and providing an extremely safe and wealthy base from which to produce more shipping.So now that the US is involved and the Germans are running out of fuel, this U-Boat war feels like it’s lost for the Axis. Or are there options still available to the Germans? After the war Winston Churchill famously wrote “the only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-Boat peril”. But historians Dan van der Vat and Clay Blair have argued that this was an exaggeration and that in fact the vast majority of shipping to Britain arrived unscathed even during some of the fiercest German raiding.
So we ask you: what role did, and could have, German shipping raiding played in bringing about peace with Britain?
